WASHINGTON, DC -- Diocesan Clergy and Faithful, as they have for many years, will take part in the annual March for Life in the Nation's Capitol on Thursday January 22, 2015. The Annual March for Life takes place to mark the 41st Anniversary of the January 22, 1973 Supreme Court Decision, known as Roe V. Wade which legalized abortion.

I greet you with joy and love in the Name of our Incarnate Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Let us give thanks to Almighty God, by whose grace we have been given the opportunity to celebrate the Birth of His Son. If we look around, we find hatred, mistrust, suffering, and the absence of peace and love in our neighborhood, city, country, and in fact the whole world.
